Obelisk

Obelisk
Obelisk - Author's Collection

The pictured decorative obelisk was bought at Crafts Etc. or maybe Hobby Lobby. I've had it for many years. I have no clue if the hieroglyphics mean anything or not. In the picture, it's sitting in front of some of my Star Wars "stuff." In Dobbs City, a fictional town that appears in my short stories, there is a weathered obelisk located at the city's old square.

Seriously Spooky Art

Ghoulish Vibes
Ghoulish Vibes

Whether it's a ghoul, phantom, revenant, or "what have you," this picture gave me some serious Lovecraft vibes. It reeks of...something. The source is Meta via Spectral Insomnia. The artist is unknown.

Stone Metals

Stone Metals Horse
Stone Metals Horse - Auther's Picture

After I wasted my time with internet price searches, I realized that the price was on the package. It's less than $10. If you're interested in these models (I, personally, am not), try to find one anywhere other than online. These things will set you back at least $50 (from what I saw on the internet).

Their website is here.

Zombie Hand

Return of the Dead
Return of the Dead

I think this image is quite spooky. My favorite movies in the zombie genre are Dawn of the Dead (2004) and Return of the Living Dead II. At any rate, I think the image is good artwork. The source is Meta. The artist is unknown.

Burial Mask

Burial Mask
Burial Mask - Author's Collection

This is just a reproduction ("whatnot") of an Egyptian burial mask. I found it several years ago. It was inside a "shadow box," and I ended up, somehow, breaking the box. I think things like this are popular, mainly, because of King Tutankhamen's famous (mostly) golden burial mask. Did you know there are also silver burial masks?

Texas Decoration

Texas Art
Texas Art

My mom is always working on DIY crafts and crafts that she comes up with on her own. She's made all kinds of beaded decorations, "dream catchers," and more. She's not limited to beads. She's done a lot of woodwork over the years. When I saw her Texas decoration and commented on it, which I think is red in color, she offered to make me one. I finally decided that I would like one in blue, with a white border. The blue color is made of a plastic grid-type of material. The white border is made from 1/4" bias tape. I may need to find a better way to hang it, but I'm very happy with it.

Stele of Hathor

Stele of Hathor
Stele of Hathor - Author's Collection

The pictured stele/stela appears to be of the goddess Hathor featuring horns with a sun disk. It measures about 5" tall and 2.5" wide. It was once housed in a shadow box, but the frame broke. I threw the frame away, but I kept the artwork. I have no clue what the hieroglyphics say or if they say anything at all. They may just be for decoration. However, the top left symbol is an inverted glyph that, when turned in the opposite direction, can be read as "Hathor."

Faster Not Bigger

Cthulhu

I don't know about bigger, but if Cthulhu is around, I'd say "faster boat."

The image is entitled "Full Moon." The artist is not known. At first glance, I thought it was a dogman.

Deep Ones - Happy Halloween!

The Shadow Over Innsmouth. The Deep Ones. Lovecraftian Mythos. I don't know the title of this work, and I don't know the artist. It does work for a final 2025 Halloween image, in my opinion. Happy Halloween!

Dagon

Dagon
Dagon

In the very nice art, we see a picture of Dagon. H.P. Lovecraft wrote a popular story called Dagon. There was also a movie released under the same name. Did you know that Dagon, or an idol with that name, appears in the Bible? I think this image qualifies as Halloween art.

The Halloween image depicts what I associated with the event when I was young. I'll be posting several Halloween pictures between now and the 31st. I've been seeing some captivating artwork.

Sleepy Hollow Vibes

Good Evening
Good Evening

The artwork in this picture has serious Washington Irving Sleepy Hollow vibes. I'm guessing the "Good Evening" words in the art are a reference to Dracula's classic line. Good evening.

I've been seeing some nice Halloween artwork because, I imagine, it's that time of the year. The credits attached to this picture are Halloween2009 by Guy Romano. It includes just about every spooky thing that you can think of. Maybe it needs a ghost or a witch? Regardless, it's a very nice image.

Fall Season

Fall Is Not Nigh, It's Here!
Fall Is Not Nigh, It's Here!

It's that time of the year! It's time (for me) to think about watching some classic horror movies. I do it every Fall, starting now until around Halloween. By classic, I mean 1930s and 1940s horror movies; the ones that aren't really scary. I don't like the modern slasher, zombie, or gory movies. They make me jumpy. I think I'll try to include a movie or two that has been inspired by H.P. Lovecraft (again, as long as it's relatively tame). Happy Fall! Oh, and Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!
